Pulse laser results
I had a fairly routine day today, if any day with kids can be called that. My last period class was a little rowdy so I had to bat down a couple of them. One student was sent out of the room and I counseled him, though it was more of a chewing out than a counseling. Like alligators, sometimes you have to hit them over their head with a stump to get their full attention.
It's late so I'll keep this brief. Here are my final impressions on the effects of the pulse laser on flushing. The redness has decreased rather dramatically everywhere except my nose. It's still a little red most of the time. I have one small bruised area where the tissue did not heal completely. Overall I would say it was successful as a treatment and the aggravation and discomfort was worth the redness reduction. Don't be fooled, though. It is not a cure for rosacea. I still have the dry areas on the face and the potential is still there for a relapse with more veins involved in dilation. I am still moisturizing each day and using Dove soap. Would I go through the treatment and subsequent bruising again? in a heartbeat. Anything beats the alternative of living with the burning redness.

HI, I also suffer from rosacea, the break outs, the extremely dry skin, you name it. I recently have been treated with an acne lamp with blue and red lights. It has worked wonders for me. I have gone from a red scaly face that wakes me up at night to fine textured skin. A friend of mine has also used this with great success. Of course, rosacea can only be managed, but really, I look and feel great!I highly recommend giving it a try. I had exhausted everything else, been to two dermatologists and spent a ton of money on products. Nothing helped. I don't know if this will work for everyone but it made a huge difference for me. I can give you the name and number of my cosmetician if you e-mail me.
YOurs,
Kate

I've heard good things about the acne lamp treatment from some rosacea patients. The odd thing about rosacea is that there is no one treatment that works for everyone. I'm happy with my current treatment but the acne lamp treatment would definitely be worth a try for others if their current regimen is not improving their symptoms. Thanks for the info, Kate.
